问题    It is his nature to confer benefits, but he is ashamed to receive them; for the former is the part of a superior, the latter of an inferior. And when he has received a benefit, he is apt to confer a greater in return; for thus his creditor will become his debtor and be in the position of a recipient of his favour.
   It is characteristic of the high-minded man, again never or reluctantly to ask favours, but to be ready to confer them, and to be lofty in his behaviour to those who are high in station and favoured by fortune, but affable to those of the middle ranks; for it is a difficult thing and a dignified thing to assert superiority over the former, but easy to assert it over the latter. A haughty demeanour in dealing with the great is quite consistent with good breeding, but in dealing with those of low estate is brutal, like showing off one’ s strength upon a cripple.
选项
答案 他性喜施舍，羞于受人恩惠；因为前者乃大人之举，后者为小人之务。而且，倘若受人恩惠，他往往加倍回报；这样，他的施恩者便又成了他的负债人，由居其下，蒙忍受惠。 君子的另一个特征就是从不或不愿邀宠于人，但却乐于施宠。在春风得意、高高在上者面前，他举止傲岸，而在普通人面前他却和蔼可亲；显然，凌驾于前者之上绝非易事，且不失尊严；而凌驾于后者之上，何难之有。对高贵者傲慢乃有教养之标志，而对卑微者傲慢便是野蛮无礼，就好似向一个残疾人耀武扬威。
